The number of new fields in which professional mathematicians find employment grows continually. This department prepares students for careers in industry, government and education.

In addition to the major programs, the department provides a number of service courses in support of other programs within the university. Current and detailed information on mathematics degrees and course offerings is available from the department.

The department maintains a math lab which is available for assistance to all students studying mathematics at the baccalaureate level.

Complete at least 21 additional credits of electives.* Acceptable elective courses include any math or statistics course at the F300 level or above, and CS F201. At least 15 credits must be math courses (for exceptions see below***). Following are some suggested elective packages.

*** In some cases, courses with strong mathematical content from other disciplines may be used as electives. Such an elective package must be approved by an advisor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The requirement that at least 15 credits be math courses still applies.

**** We strongly recommend that prospective secondary science teachers seek advising from the UAF School of Education early in your undergraduate degree program, so that you can be appropriately advised of the State of Alaska requirements for teacher licensure. You will apply for admission to the UAF School of Education's postbaccalaureate teacher preparation program, a one-year intensive program, during your senior year.

Note: All mathematics majors -- including double majors -- must have an advisor from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

Note: In addition to meeting all the general requirements for the specific degree, certain mathematics courses are required of all mathematics majors. At least 12 approved mathematics credits at the F300 level or above must be taken while in residence on the Fairbanks campus. All electives must be approved by the department.
